God loves you somuch that He took the punishment for your sins on the
cross. He does not
want your sins keeping you separated from Him for all eternity, which they
will, if you don't accept this
FREE GIFT OF PARDON
God has given humanity.

That's some pretty exciting news, isn't
it?!

But perhaps this sounds
like the most ridiculous thing you have ever heard.But is it really?Maybe you have or
haven’t heard it said that “God is love.”If God truly is the essence of love, then what does His dying
on the cross to
take someone’s punishment have anything to do with His love, you might
wonder?

(Besides … who can prove
that God died anyway, right? 'What
a ridiculous statement!' … you might be thinking to yourself).

Understandably.But let’s flip-flop our reasoning.Can we prove that God did not die on the
cross to take our
punishment?Not really.The best (worst?) we can do is believe He didn’t.

Consider this for a
moment. Either the following scriptural declaration in 1 Timothy 3:16
(NKJV) is FACT, or it is NOT:

And without controversy great is
the mystery of godliness:

God was
manifest in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit, Seen by
angels, Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.

Imagine for a moment
that you are God.Imagine that you
created all things.You
decided to create universes, and planets and stars in that universe.On one planet in particular, you decided to create creatures in your
likeness.Your primary reason
for doing so was to reveal your wisdom motivated by love.
These unique creatures would be
unlike any other you had ever created.They would be created in your likeness in that they would be a
three-part being: they would be given a body, a soul, and a spirit. You
would give them dominion over the other creatures you had created on planet
Earth.

In your love, you gave
these created beings called Man and Woman the freewill to choose.You did not want to
force them to serve and obey you like robots.To make them serve and obey you would not be love at all.

In your infinite wisdom
… these special created beings would be given an extreme high place of
rulership throughout eternity … if they chose to follow the course you laid
out for them.This course
would not be an easy course.
This would be a most difficult course for most to follow.After all … for these special created beings to deserve the honor of
being placed at an extreme high place of rulership … they would have to
prove their appreciation and their obedience.
To simply give them this privilege
and right without them having to pay a great price for it would not really
be wise.

Yet here was a dilemma
you were faced with.In times
earlier, in your love, you had given your angels, which are spirit beings,
the ability to chose as well, and one of the most powerful ones began to
think more highly of himself than what he should.A third of the angels less powerful than him also desired to see him
placed above you in glory, and so a full-blown rebellion was brewing.

In your wisdom and power
you removed these rebels from your midst.You confined them to a specific place until final Judgment would be
given them for their wicked disobedience.They would be confined to planet Earth and surrounding it, until the
completion of future judgment.

YOUR
MASTER PLAN UNFOLDS

In your immeasurable wisdom … your master plan
unfolded.You would allow this
angel, who was now called Satan, to tempt Man and Woman to disobey you.If they weren’t given the choice to choose to obey you or disobey you
– given the choice to obey what you say instead of what your enemies say –
how could they prove themselves to you that they could be trusted with it?

So you create a special
place on planet Earth called Eden.You placed Man and Woman there, giving the Man a name called Adam.Adam named his wife Eve.You tell Adam and Eve they can eat of every fruit in Eden, except
one.In so doing, you have
just given to them your highest expression of love: Choice.

In due course Satan
shows up in Eden.He entices
Eve to taste the fruit you told her she shouldn’t eat.Once she has eaten of the forbidden fruit, with Satan’s help, she
entices Adam to eat of it as well.You had warned Adam and Eve to not eat the fruit, because if they
did, they would die.Satan
used his lying powers of persuasiveness to convince Adam and Eve that they
would not die, but would become like himself.Himself!? Sure – he just didn’t say it quite that way.He said that they would become like “God … to know the difference
between good and evil”.

What Adam and Eve didn’t
realize is that they should have first asked you, their Creator, for a
second opinion on the matter before just listening to someone else say
everything was going to be okay.

After they ate of the
forbidden fruit, sure enough, they began to die, just like you promised them
they would.(You just didn’t
give them the details of how it would happen).First their spirit began to lose the intimate spiritual life you
created it to have with you.
Their hunger to fellowship in your presence would diminish from then on.Their love for the light of your essence would begin a slow death,
and their love for darkness away from the light of your presence would
intensify.

Secondly in their dying,
their soul(mind, will and
emotions) now began to experience fear.They were incapable of experiencing fear of any kind before
disobeying you.In their fear,
they now were compelled to hide from you, rather than desiring to have
intimate fellowship with you as before.Along with fear came all kinds of other frightful, devastating
feelings and emotions they never would have had to battle had they not
disobeyed you.

Thirdly, in many years
to follow, their physical bodies died.Had they never disobeyed you, their physical bodies would have lived
on forever.

Something else happened
when Satan gained legal influence over Adam and Eve. When they had their
first child, their spiritual DNA was passed to that child.Their now spiritually defective DNA was partly of your nature, but
now tragically partly of Satan’s nature as well.Satan’s deceiving nature was to try to turn spiritual light into
spiritual darkness by trying to convince everyone that his darkness is the
true light.Because Satan’s
fall transformed him into the father of all lies, he is now totally
incapable of telling the pure truth.His essence for being is to attempt to convince all that the lies he
speaks must become reality … his spiritual darkness has become that black.

Along with their now
partly defective spiritual DNA was their physical DNA that also passed to
their offspring.
Diseases, abnormalities of all sorts, could and would be passed to their
offspring to every person born thereafter, right to this very day.

In essence, everything
good you created Adam and Eve for was now turned into a defective creation:
Spiritually - emotionally – physically.The light you had created in Adam and Eve would now begin to grow
dimmer day by day in all three dimensions of their being.Yet in your wisdom, you had a plan from the beginning of all
creation.In your love for the
fallen human race, you were not about to let them remain under the control
of Satan’s darkened influence indefinitely.You would give mankind a second chance to become all that you
originally created for them to become.

UNDERSTANDING TO THE HUMBLE

It is very difficult for
a mere human to fully comprehend your need for The Master Plan of Redemption
and Reconciliation to be given to the human race, but for those who seek to
fully understand it, you give them the ability to understand and appreciate
it enough to respond properly to it.

Here’s the preciousness
of the Master Plan of reconciliation for the human race.Because you are God, you have all power.You always were God – you always will be.You know all things, from the beginning to the end.In you, there really is no end.You are everywhere at all times.Love originated from you, because that is what you are.Wisdom originated from you, because that is what you are.
Mercy originated from you, because
that is what you are.Peace
originated from you, because that is what you are.
Joy originated from you, because
that is what you are.Righteousness originated from
you, because that is what you are.Holiness originated from you,
because that is what you are.
Perfect justice originates from you, because that is what you are. In fact …
you are so holy and so righteous and so just that you cannot and will not
stand sin (rebellion -- criminal acts ... against you) in your full
presence, which is why you must implement your Master Plan.In your vast wisdom, you realized that Man and Woman could not be
trusted with free will to obey you.Adam and Eve had already proven it.The only way Adam and Eve would never have chosen to sin against you
would to have never given them the ability to choose between good and evil
in the first place.To have
done that would have made them subservient robots – slaves.

No … it was only right to give them and
their offspring the ability to choose.

But because they chose
to disobey you, which their offspring would also do by the very rebellious
nature they inherited from their parents, your righteousness and holiness
and perfect justice would never allow them to remain in your presence for
eternity.After all …you are The all-just Judge as well.
Wrongdoing against you and others must be judged and punishment must be
executed against the guilty.

Sadly … it appeared as
though you had backed yourself into a corner.Because you cannot tolerate sin (criminal acts against you and
others) in your presence … Adam and Eve would never be able to be in your
full presence any longer. Tragically, neither would their offspring
- (which includes you and I and our offspring ... and it keeps going
from offspring to offspring).
The entire human race would be doomed to be separated from your full
presence for all eternity, because now sin (criminal acts against God) stood
between you and them, just like between you and Satan and the other fallen
angels.

Yet in your mercy, you
would give human beings a chance to have
your holiness and
your righteousness, which would be like garments that covered their
sin.There was absolutely no
way they could become holy enough or righteous enough in their own abilities
that you would find acceptable, so you would lovingly give them yours.In fact, though it
would cost you your very life, with pain unspeakable, you would give them
this holiness and righteousness free(Click on the following link for expanded
understanding:
http://www.precious-testimonies.com/Exhortations/a-e/breast.htm).
All they had to do was believe for it – trust you for it - because
you would pay the price for them to receive it
totally free of charge,
without somehow having to try to earn it by being “good enough.”

THE
GREATEST EXPRESSION OF YOUR LOVE IS:
CHOICE

In fact, it would be so
simple to receive that it would seem unbelievably impossible to obtain.Yet it would be obtainable . . .to all of humble spirit and soul.Yet they would have to believe for it. But to have the ability to
trust for it … they would have to obey you and ask you to forgive them of
their sins.(That would be the
most difficult for most – admitting that they were “sinners” to themselves
and others). They would also have to forgive others.If they refused to forgive others, no matter how much they were
wronged or how great the offense was or the pain experienced by the
wrongdoing, then you would not forgive them of their wrongdoing against
you.The wise would
appreciate your wisdom in so doing: The proud and vengeful of heart would
refuse to see your wisdom in so doing.(See:
Matthew 6:14-15 for Bible clarification of the necessity of forgiving
others who have hurt us).

To implement
the Father's Master Redemptive Plan on Earth to deal with the
spiritually corrupt and rebellious, disobedient nature of mankind (or now
simply translated as sin), in your mercy, [because you always submit your
will to the Father], you chose a small group of people called the Jews to be
a people who would be given more revelation and understanding about you than
any other group of people until after your Master Plan had been totally
executed.

Through the Jews, you
would prove to mankind that they were incapable of following
10 holy commandments.If
they did, which you knew they really couldn’t, (because of being born
with the sinful nature passed down to them from Adam and Eve), you promised
them you would accept them back into your holy presence upon their dying.But because you knew they wouldn’t and couldn’t keep
them … there would be only one option left for you to allow them to
be reconciled back to you in totally good standing.

YOU would take their
punishment for their rebellion - law breaking - failure to obey you.Yes!This was the
totality of the Master Plan.
Because you are The holy and righteous God, and there can
be no other … YOU would pay the price for them to be
forgiven and made holy and righteous -- to be in your presence forevermore
once they finished the original course set forth for them, which would be
death of their physical body and then judgment. You would execute righteous
judgment upon yourself instead of them!You
would go to prison and be cruely tormented in their place so to speak, so they could go free!

What love you have.What compassion and mercy you have.But the price you would have to pay to impart your love, compassion
and mercy to the human race would not come cheaply for you.For those who would believe your Master Plan was the truthful way for
their sinful, rebellious nature to be dealt with, you would grant them
privilege throughout eternity that would stagger their imaginations.But for those who rejected the costly price you would have to pay for
that privilege – for those who mocked and rejected and made light of this
costly sacrifice of taking your wrath upon yourself(so they could be freed from receiving it) -- these would be
sentenced to eternal separation from you.These would be sentenced to an eternity of suffering to different
degrees along with Satan and his rebellious followers, because of the insult
it was to you for them to be so unappreciative of the costly price you would
pay to have their rebellious natures dealt with.No hell could be so deserving for those who willfully scoffed and
rejected the incredibly costly sacrifice you would give to the human race to
deal with their sinful natures
… the sacrifice of yourself.

So you allow the Master
Plan to continue to unfold.As
you wrote through the hands of Jewish people devoted to you, the Messiah
would one day come forth through the bloodline of one of the kings of
Israel.The Messiah would be
the One who would put a face on you.The Messiah would be none other than Yourself … albeit it in a
uniquely disguised form.

When the Jewish nation
had fallen into so much spiritual darkness that expectation of the long
awaited Messiahappearing in their midst seemed to be the farthest
thing from most of their minds … you showed up on the scene.(Contrary to popular hu-ha propagated by sugarcoated greed, Santa
Clause did not deliver you from the North Pole in a sleigh pulled by
reindeer to a little manger in Bethlehem).The Father expression of you willed The Holy Spirit expression of you
to impregnate the egg of a devoted lady named Mary. This was the only
way it could happen for you to be qualified to be the perfect, acceptable
sacrifice to take the punishment of others.You would have to keep enough of your true essence, otherwise it
would not be God taking mans punishment, (not merely a human being
trying to take their punishment).Yet you would have to be so much a mere human to know the torment and
the inner pain of being tempted to sin like mankind suffered daily since the
fall of Adam and Eve.Because
you have declared of yourself that it is impossible for an all holy God to
sin, (which you truly can’t), then you would have to make yourself human
enough that you could sin, (and know the pain involved while trying to keep
from sinning), though you never actually would sin, because if somehow you
did, your Master Plan would be worthless.That’s right -- if you gave into temptation and sinned only
once, you would no
longer be the perfect sacrifice for the human race.

HE CAME TO DIE THAT YOU MIGHT LIVE WITH HIM FOR ETERNITY

What a challenge you set
up for yourself. But in your love,
nothing was going to stop you from executing your plan.As history records, you lived as a human being for 33 years.You took the time to record in your holy scriptures that although you
were tempted to sin like every other human being ever has or will be tempted
to sin, you did not once give into those temptations.Yes, there had been times when it seemed like maybe you were going
to, but because of the pain that it brought to you in knowing that if you
did, the human race would be under the full control of Satan and ultimately
would be doomed to continued eternal darkness and suffering.You could not – you dare not – give into those temptations.Complete execution of your Master Plan hinged on one thing and one
thing only: You must not sin. Though you were capable of doing so
because you had the corrupt DNA of Mary your mother imparted to you at
birth, you also had incorrupt DNA not from a human being, but from yourself,
which cannot sin because you are perfect obedience to what is right.

In your wildest
comprehension … you had no idea how much pain you would suffer inside
yourself as you hung their purposely on the
cross, being
willing to take the wrath every human will experience one day if they reject
the Master Plan of reconciliation to God.Everything inside you was screaming to be freed to leave this place
of torment you had willingly put yourself in.You didn’t have to be in this torment.You didn’t have to take your wrath that rightly deserved to be
executed against the disobedient instead of yourself.You didn’t need to be taking this ridicule of those standing around
you – most of them refusing to believe you were even the promised Messiah --
the One who would save people from their criminal acts of sin against God
(you) and mankind.

More painful still, you
had the ability to see into the spirit realm as a mere human being.You could plainly see Satan there at that scene as well, with myriads
and myriads of his demon followers, (whom you had originally created for
good) screaming into your mind that you had sinned at least once, and
that God the Father was not going to accept your sacrifice after all.This doubt was so real … so penetrating … that you began to literally
sweat drops of blood from your forehead.
What if I somehow HAD sinned once, and the Father refused to accept my
sacrifice? What if … as Satan is now trying to convince me of … that I am
sinning by my act of taking my own life, in affect - committing suicide?What if I’m wrong in thinking that I’m obeying the Father’s will by
what I’m doing … deceived like Adam and Eve were … Satan having tricked me?

Worse yet, I can feel the separation already
starting from my intimacy with the Father.I’m beginning to fear the presence of hell that I will be sent to as
soon as my spirit departs.The
intimacy I’ve always experienced with The Father has now departed from me.Perhaps Satan is right?
Perhaps it’s an unknown sin I’ve committed that has caused The Father to
reject me.Why do I
feel
like I am so forsaken by the Father?

Because the Father is
dumping His entire wrath on me for the sins of humanity, the emotional
torment of it is more than I can almost bear.Because now I AM sin, though I don’t believe I have sinned, I
must have my righteous and holy judgment executed against me because
of that sin.I must also be
sent to hell to experience the torment that others are experiencing there
because I cannot make myself better than Man or Woman.

IS GOD
DEAD?

Finally it is finished.My spirit is released from the torment inside my physical body.The next thing I realize, I’m in the hell I created.
But something is different about me.I no longer feel the
pain and torment I was suffering moments earlier on the cross.I have been freed from it.My man side has now been shed, and my God side is what remains.According to my Master Plan,
I now will
minister to departed souls in the spirit realm.

Many believe what I tell
them, like my disciples did on Earth, but many also scoff and disbelieve.Those who believe … I am about to free so they can enjoy the fullness
of heaven with Me and My Father and the
holy angels. Yet before I do, I must do something to complete
the Master Plan.

HAND HIM THE KEY

I walk into Satan’s
throne room smiling.He is
not.No words are necessary to
speak.He simply hands me the
keys of his kingdom.He knows
I defeated him in every arena.
Literally - I have won the
keys of death and hell. I have now provided
Adam and Eve and every offspring of theirs' whose names were written in the
Book of Life
from the foundation of the world a way to be completely
right with the Creator again, because of the sacrifice I gave.My sacrifice was so costly, so precious, that no amount of money
could buy it.No amount of
their “doing good”
would qualify them to be given it.There would be only one way they could receive it, it was so costly
to me.They would have to
believe for it -- trust
for it.

I did one final act to
complete the Master Plan.It
was imperative that I destroy my final enemy: physical death.
(Spiritual death was destroyed when the sins of the world were
placed on me while I hung on the cross). Thus I resurrected my
dead physical body three Earth days after my dying.I showed myself to many of my followers my new glorified body: A body
like they would one day receive.I told them I could not stay with them long, because I needed to go
back to my rightful place with the Father, otherwise the fullness of the
Holy Spirit could not be poured out on them in His fullness to enable them
to complete the work I assigned for them to do …
and for the work assigned for the rest of my followers to do.

You see … I have come to
painfully learn something about the humans I give life to.In their lost, sinful state that got passed to them all the way back
from the rebellious fall of Adam and Eve, it is easier for most of them to
believe a lie than believe my truth.Though I have every legal right to execute my final judgment now
against Satan and his demons and the departed souls separated from me for
eternity, I’m going to delay my most severe judgment.I’m going to let Satan have a little more time to tempt and deceive
mankind.I’m going to see who
really wants to pay the price to believe the truth and show by their actions
(obedience) that there is some meaningful substance to what they say they
believe.

To those who really want
to be right with me, I will reveal the truth they need to gain confidence
that they will be with me for eternity upon their physical death.For those who don’t want to pay the price to believe the truth I
give, or continue to keep on believing the truth I give, though the struggle
to hold onto it may be very painful and difficult at times -- I’ll allow
Satan to give them what they rightly desire anyway, and that is to believe
that lies are truth.

Do I sound cruel?Not if you knew what I have in store throughout eternity for those
who will pay just a small price during their lifetime on Earth to hold onto
truth and obey me.Some I will
allow to suffer hardship because it will cause them to turn to me.All will be tested, some even to the point of death if I so allow
Satan to take it that far, simply because they live in Satan’s domain on
Earth like I had to when I lived on Earth for those 33 years. You cannot be
devoted to me on Earth and escape suffering from Satan completely.Some
will suffer much more pain than others, simply because in my wisdom, it will
produce in them the capacity to experience greater joy and appreciation
throughout eternity that they would not be capable of experiencing any other
way.It will also qualify them
for some things I am keeping secret yet… to be revealed in its proper time.

THE GREAT EXCHANGE

It can hardly be made any more clear than
quoting the words of a very well-respected Bible teacher: "When one is
redeemed in Christ's precious shed blood, which at Calvary was shed as a
payment for the sins of every believer, this burden is taken from the
believer and placed on Him. Christ who knew no sin was made sin for us
that, in turn, we might have imputed to us His righteousness. The
first declaration of God, regarding Christ becoming our propitiation, was
not our salvation but rather the declaration of Christ's righteousness (Romans
3:25-26). Because of Christ's perfect righteousness, He was able
to render to God his Father and our heavenly Father what we could never
repay, the payment for the penalty of our sin. Therefore, in Paul's
writing of this divine declaration,God can declare "just" those who
are not so. We have
then, as believers, imputed to us Christ's righteousness while our
sin is imputed to HIM. The sobering reality that we should see
is that Christ is devoid of all sin and could not possibly have sin in Him,
so we are devoid of all righteousness and can have none in
ourselves. This divine condescension is the miracle of God's salvation
for us."

This mind-boggling,
mind-blowing miracle is referred to as the "power of God"
spoken of in
1 Corinthians 1:18.
What no other created being can do - God the Father accomplished through
Jesus Christ through His death, burial and resurrection. He made
sinners as holy as He is!

And I did something else. I made
you as holy and righteous as I am; as the Father is; as the Holy Spirit is.
(My heart's desire is that you live up to it, by working diligently in
practicing righteousness - practicing obedience to My Word, the Bible).

Thank you for taking the
time to hear the in-depth reason "Why The
Cross."
We trust you now have a much better understanding of what the
Cross of Calvary
truly represents. It removes the barrier of sin between you and God,
so we can have intimate relationship starting now,
if you want it ... but that's up to you. It is a decision you
must make. All it requires is a simple little prayer, but you must
mean it. We'll help you out by giving you a simple prayer to follow:

"Dear
heavenly Father, I come to you right now, and I acknowledge that I am a
sinner. I ask that You forgive me of all my sins, so that I can be
made in good standing with You. I do not want to go to hell when I die
because of my sins. I want to go to heaven when I die because I
believe You made a way to have all my sins forgiven. I believe this
WAY was given to me and everyone else by the substitutionary death, burial
and resurrection of your Son, Jesus Christ. I ask and pray this in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
